- A Batch of Updates and Fixes! Changes from v1.0.1 to v1.0.4 - 1 August 2026
Hyperstacks v1.0.2Grappling Level Softlock, Misbehaving Lasers, and Subtitles That Actually Speak Your LanguageThis update fixes several issues affecting the campaign, the Level Editor, and localization.FixesFixed a softlock in the grappling level. Falling after grabbing the moving Grappling Block could leave the NPC behind instead of moving to the end of the jump.Because the NPC was left behind and never finished their dialogue, an important Jump platform would not activate, making the level impossible to complete.Fixed line-based item previews in the Level Editor. Lasers and other line-based elements in the item selector were scaling incorrectly depending on the map zoom level, causing them to appear distorted or incorrectly sized.They should now maintain the correct proportions at every zoom level.Fixed character subtitles across all supported languages. Almost every dialogue Phrase…
- Update 1.0.1 - 30 July 2026
First Post-Release Patch This first post-release patch fixes several bugs and softlocks found in the lobby and quests.

- HYPERSTACKS AVAILABLE NOW! - 30 July 2026
HYPERSTACKS AVAILABLE NOW!Eight years of development. Thousands of hours of work. And finally it is here.I honestly can’t believe Hyperstacks is finally releasing.What began as a solo project grew into something far bigger, and today, Hyperstacks is finally launching on Steam.Thank you to everyone who tested the game, shared feedback, created levels, followed its development, or stayed around long enough to see this moment.I wanted to prepare a complete launch patch notes post, but the final release window has been chaotic. I’ll publish the full notes once the game is safely out and I’ve dealt with any unexpected bugs that appear. Because, for some reason, bugs always seem to wait for the most important possible moment.For now, get your headset ready.See you in Hyperstacks.
- One week Left to Release! - 23 July 2026
Over the years of developing Hyperstacks, we’ve made many improvements, including performance optimizations, usability overhauls, editor quality-of-life features, and plenty of other changes.And wow... our last developer patch notes post was more than a year ago!Even though we stopped posting regular patch notes, development never stopped. Updates continued at a slower pace, and the game has progressed from version 0.14, which was announced in one of the previous posts, all the way to version 0.18.We stopped publishing detailed patch notes because I’m the only programmer on the team, and preparing them became a significant amount of extra work. Working on other games also slowed Hyperstacks’ development at times.However, I’m very happy to finally announce that Hyperstacks will soon leave Early Access and officially launch as version 1.0Both Meta Quest and SteamDevelopment will not end w…

- Hyperstacks 0.9.1 - 5 October 2022
I'm happy to announce that another update came to Hyperstacks to improve the game. First of all!... I know I said that 0.9.0 would be the release version, but we have changed this there is still work needed for the campaign for the game to release, but we have decided a thing that you may like it: Now instead of publishing a big update every long time, we decided to make more frequent updates, like an update every 2-week minimum in that way, you can enjoy the game updated and more bugs free and also you will be able to test every new feature without waiting so much this is what we made with the Grappling Hook! So from now, this will be this way: We will make updates every week or 2 weeks, fixing bugs and improving the game. If a new feature comes in, we will keep it open for the public for testing on isolated levels Then once the feature is consolidated and well battle-tested it will be…
